I got a phone call this morning. It startled me a bit, but let it go to voicemail (I was already on the phone).

My senior editor verbally re-stated what was said in the last email and said I needed to get back to her ASAP.

I replied to her email and told her my report was mostly completed, however I was waiting on another form from the clients psychiatrist before I could complete the report. I made no mention of the other items.

Her response was "Your report was due out yesturday - you'll need to get this form asap!

I think I just bought myself at least another couple of weeks

who were you on the phone with previously?

 

[nakedfrog]

Mmmm... yeah... it sounds like we need to go ahead and have a talk...

Now, if BigToque gets a raise, I am submitting my application tomorrow.

Talking with a friend. I made plans to go to his house after work to play Smash Bros. Brawl on the Wii

you're like an office ghost

You must really not need this employer for a reference if you're trying to get fired.
While it's somewhat entertaining to follow, I cannot respect people like this.

Always weird to see mods with a mod quote in their sig.

The plane takes off, the second law of thermodynamics does not prevent evolution, 1=.9999..., and you switch doors.

I'm pretty sure he's not looking for your respect, and thusly doesn't care if you respect him or not.

Also, I 100% endorse this thread. Is it too soon to nominate for ATOT Thread of the Year?

He's had that quote in his sig since the beginning of time(and before he was a mod).

Truth be told, even with your mindset, I bet I'd be scared as hell in your position.

This seems like it's getting worse... "Day 16: I got canned today". (Knock on wood).

can we get more info? like age?

 

[wwswimming]

how about setting up your work computer with some capture
software (Pinnacle) and plugging an old Logitech QuickCam
5000 into the USB port and getting some raw video of the
de-employment process.

that might make some huge files, 13 GB per hour last time i
measured. so then you'll need some editing software to get
it down to a size that will fit on a flash drive or whatever you
got.

you're still not going to come close to a world record, though.
i had a co-worker at a defense contractor who did nothing
for a year.

Bless those corporations and their spiritual journey for work ethic and integrity!
